...seller on eBay selling the Disgo Gatekeeper Card Pro for around £95. A bit of investigation revealed that this is the same device but sold under the Disgo brand name. Disgo also provides the first-line support rather than Yoggie. However, the software is still all developed and provided by Yoggie. So, at that price it become worthy of consideration. I decided to take the plunge. The package is quite small. In the box you get the device itself, an ...
...fact that I had the Disgo branded version of their device. They told me I had to contact Disgo Support (and probably breathed a huge sigh of relief in finally getting rid of me). We never did resolve that one and I suspect we won't until I'm once again staying at a hotel that offers Wifi. Maybe I'll take it to a Wetherspoons and try it there; they offer free Wifi. I suspect that this may be something to do with Web Filtering again. I may have had ...

Review of Disgo Yoggie Gatekeeper Card Pro

Raritan making remote support much easier..

Advantages: Makes remote support of machines much easier
Disadvantages: A few little quirks that can be worked around

...is a review of the Raritan Dominion DX2-101. Throughout this review I will discuss the device as the "Dominion". What we wanted I think firstly it would be handy to describe the product I was looking for when I purchased the Dominion and what I was looking to achieve. This is not be the only use as I will describe but may help to understand what I was looking for and why. A big part of my work is to diagnose computer (PC or laptop) problems. A ...
...offices connected to our network via "remote control" software and could be anywhere in the world. This tends to be done with applications such as Dameware, PCAnywhere or perhaps more well known to home users the Remote Assistance and Desktop built into Windows XP. In other words you are controlling the keyboard, mouse and screen of the PC or laptop. The above system works fine if the Windows operating system itself is working but not if Windows ...

Review of Raritan Dominion KX II-101

Excellent load balanced firewall/

Advantages: Load Balanced Broadband, VPN, Comprehensive Firewall
Disadvantages: NAT Behind other routers / firewalls

...this device lies with the Sonicwall TZ170 SP 25 Node Enhanced OS Version. I have put two of these devices in place as a VPN gateway between two offices for up to 20 users where is has proved very stable and reliable. The Load Balancing Features are very good, allowing you to use two broadband connections for double the bandwidth, or configure one of the connections as a fail-back should one of your ISP's experience problems, there is also the option ...

Review of SonicWALL TZ 170 SP

Recommended!

Advantages: Very good value for money
Disadvantages: None really / slight technical knowledge required to install

I run a business where keeping my network and data safe is vital. Not only is it my legal responsibility to ensure the security of my information, an intrusion could also prove costly in time and resources. For this reason I decided to speak to Armana Security (www.armana.co.uk) about the possible solutions. I decided to install a Netscan 50 firewall to my network. The basic stats are below: Firewall performance: 170mbps 3DES performance: 20mbps ...

The most impressive factor for me was the price. ...

Review of NetScreen 50f

Superb Firewall

Advantages: Quick, Eaxplained configuration, specifications
Disadvantages: A bit costly.

...firewall you can buy. However, 3COM seem to have the ability to make good quality units with minimal fuss. You certainly get what you pay for with this unit. I already have one of these at work and have recently purchased another for an additional office. First and fore most the Superstack 3 has a good quality durable rack mountable design. Ports and LEDS on the front are clear and readable so there is no confusion in an other wise confusing technical ...
...- 3 Support from 3COM is also good, reasonable response times plus they seem to come up with accurate answers when you need them. I have found the S3 to be very reliable and have not found any faults to date in either unit that I have. Your getting a lot for your money here but saying that it isn't cheap. 3COM do offer other firewalls but with this you wont have to worry about upgrading anytime soon. ...
